A spokesman for Beckham said: "There are a number of serious proposals on the table from a host of clubs across the world. David is no hurry to make a decision, the key is making the right one as he has always done successfully in his career."

The statement continued: "It's early days in the process. David is enjoying spending quality time with his family over the holidays."

The former England captain ended his five-year stint with Los Angeles Galaxy on December 1 after winning a second MLS Cup.

He has been linked with Monaco, Queens Park Rangers, the Middle East and a number of Chinese clubs, although Perth Glory conceded he would be unlikely to play in Australia.
